In 1981, Our Blessed Mother began appearing in Medjugorje as the Queen of Peace and Reconciliation and ardently calling the world to conversion. “I am with you because He (the Father), in His mercy, sends me.”
For twenty-nine years, with great love and never tiring, Our Blessed Mother continues to appear and watches over all her children in the world with great concern. She tells us that the world today is drifting dangerously far away from her Son Jesus and His Gospel teachings of love, truth and peace. “As I look at you, my heart seizes with pain…You are permitting sin to master you and to take away your power of discernment.”
Our Mother desires to save us from succumbing to the delusion of false gods. Our hearts cannot be at peace if they are in conflict with the one true God. Therefore, Our Lady invites us to make a fresh start: “Today I am calling you… decide for a new beginning, a beginning of sincere love of God Himself.”
As the people of Israel responded to Moses’ covenant renewal, “Return to the Lord your God with all your heart” (Deuteronomy 30:10), may each one of us become more conscious of our Christian vocation which calls us to do the same and thereby respond to Our Lady’s call, “My children, do not be afraid to witness to love in the name of my Son…I will be with you, just call me.” “I am your Mother…I love you.” “I beg of you…to live my messages and relate them to whomever you meet."
